    Default bad spot to cbet?

    both villains are 31/20ish

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG ($25)
    MP ($28.40)
    Hero (CO) ($25.55)
    Button ($25.25)
    SB ($25.75)
    BB ($26.95)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with A, Q
    UTG bets $1, MP calls $1, Hero raises to $3, 3 folds, UTG calls $2, MP calls $2

    Flop: ($9.35) J, 6, 2 (3 players)
    UTG checks, MP checks, Hero bets $6, 1 fold, MP raises to $25.40 (All-In), Hero folds

    Total pot: $21.35 | Rake: $1
    do the right thing.

    3b is fine imo. Cbet is fine also. Everything about this hand appears standard to me.

    Are you calling a shove? What hands do you assume villain calls?
    Aren't we throwing away a lot of our hand value being IP?
    What about the 3bet size?

    What hands that called an UTG 3bet pre, are folding this 2 way flop? What's your turn plan when called on the flop?

    Given reads I dont mind 3betting, Id make it 14-15BB tho with the caller in between. Whether or not to cbet, depends on how much I´ve been 3betting before, with a not too crazy image this is prob okay.

    I'd call pre, don't want to push out his Ax (x=crap) and your in position.

    Check back flop, you've got backdoor draws and 2 overs.

    if you 3 bet then make it bigger pre and if you c bet this flop i d bet-call
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    I'd guess that betting the flop and checking behind are probably almost awash. The J seems to hit the combined ranges of the two players in these kinds of situations a lot, but betting can't be that bad. As Genitruc said, if you're going to 3-bet preflop, make it bigger.
